Lyrics
Beautiful
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Boy you've dug your head out of a thousand holes
You've gotta stand up, you gotta take the blows
Cos if you don't take the blows then the girl won't sing
And the grass won't grow
Sometimes I think that I think too much
And that it's all in my head, and I can't touch
Cos if you touch too much then the lights won't go
And the water won't flush
And I'm chasing all my cares away
Fighting for freedom for one day
I'm chasing all my cares away
So take me to that beautiful way
Nigel said my eyes look blank too much
And if I carry on my mind will turn to mush
And if it turns to mush then the strings won't rattle
And the paint won't brush
He said you're only happy when you're pissed
I said "No I'm not", he said "I insist"
How many times should you have blown a kiss
But instead you swung your fist
And I'm chasing all my cares away
Fighting for freedom for one day
I'm chasing all my cares away
So take me to that beautiful way
Take me to that beautiful way
What was that dripping away?
Oh was it water or time?
Was it a stunt or a crime?
You can only own your own life
So I own mine, I own mine
And I'm chasing all my cares away
Fighting for freedom for one day
I'm chasing all my cares away
So take me to that beautiful way
Take me to that beautiful way
